• Fritillaria Meleagris ‘Alba’, also known as White Snake’s Head Fritillary, is a graceful Spring flowering bulb that produces nodding, bell-shaped white flowers with delicately veined petals. Blooming from April to May, these unique and charming flowers rise above slender green stems and grass-like foliage.

• Plant these fritillaria bulbs in Autumn in moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Choose a partially shaded position or dappled sun, spacing bulbs approximately 8-10 cm apart and at a depth of 8-10 cm. These bulbs benefit from naturalising in grass or woodland-style plantings. Keep soil moist during the growing season and allow the foliage to die back naturally for best results in the following year. Fritillaria ‘Alba’ is fully hardy and will return year after year with little maintenance.

• Ideal for naturalising in lawns, shady garden beds, or under deciduous trees and shrubs. Also suitable for containers or pots in cool areas. Their elegant white blooms provide contrast against more colourful Spring flowers and blend well with soft planting schemes. Pair with species like bluebells or anemones for a natural woodland effect.
